Dragon Corpse

Returning to his hometown!?

Gu Qingfeng's arrogant words instantly sent a shock through everyone's hearts.

What did that mean?

Could it be that the hometown this person spoke of was the Senluo Ghost Region?!

Patriarch Huntian and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

Could this person before them be a ghost god from the Senluo Ghost Region?

Impossible! The Senluo Ghost Region was a cursed land. Although the ghost gods inside were powerful, they absolutely could not leave that place. This person must be playing tricks to mystify them.

Thinking like this, a few threads of doubt rose in Patriarch Huntian's heart. But why would this person put on such an act? Was it to deliberately frighten them, making them feel apprehensive?

Was he actually not as strong as they had imagined?

Just because of a casual remark from Gu Qingfeng, Patriarch Huntian, who had already conceded defeat, once again felt ripples of suspicion in his heart.

He was currently holding back a belly full of fire, wanting to lash out but also afraid of kicking an iron plate.

However, if he just walked away dejectedly like this and could never find this person again in the future, wouldn't he have been humiliated for nothing?

With flickering eyes, Patriarch Huntian formed a plan in his mind.

He cupped his hands and asked, "Dare I ask if fellow Daoist is heading to the Senluo Ghost Region?"

Gu Qingfeng gave him a faint glance. "What does it have to do with you?"

Patriarch Huntian was not angered and continued respectfully, "It's like this. We are also heading to the Senluo Ghost Region. I wonder if we could travel together with fellow Daoist? The Senluo Ghost Region is extremely dangerous, and with more people, we can look out for each other."

The reason Patriarch Huntian said this was actually due to two calculations. The first was to use the dangers of the Senluo Ghost Region to probe Gu Qingfeng's true background. If the other party was truly strong on the outside but weak on the inside, then he would definitely make Gu Qingfeng regret coming into this world, allowing him to vent his foul anger.

The second was that if Gu Qingfeng was truly not bluffing, then he must have something to rely on and his strength would not be weak. Facing such an arrogant person, as long as he lowered his own posture, he could absolutely make Gu Qingfeng act as a meat shield along the way, adding a bit of security to their upcoming operations.

Before Gu Qingfeng could reply, the Woman in White, who had a face full of scars but an excellent figure, suddenly said, "This is inappropriate. We have important matters to attend to on this trip and it is inconvenient to travel with others. Fellow Daoist, it is better for us to part ways here."

Patriarch Huntian became increasingly displeased, extremely dissatisfied with the Woman in White repeatedly disrupting his plans.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingfeng looked at the Woman in White with great interest. He stared at her scar-filled face for a long time, as if he had discovered something.

In the end, he actually said, "Perfect. This Emperor is also lacking a few grooms to pull the carriage. This kind of supreme glory shall be bestowed upon you."

Saying this, Gu Qingfeng turned around and returned to the White Bone Blood Boat.

Leaving only Patriarch Huntian and the others staring at each other in dismay.

The Beast-clothed Man asked via voice transmission, "Boss, what does he mean by this?"

Patriarch Huntian immediately blew his beard and glared. His hands, like withered tree bark, clenched tightly, veins bulging. "What does he mean? He is telling us to pull the carriage!"

The Beast-clothed Man's face instantly turned furious. "This brat only has a Great Luo cultivation base, yet he dares to treat us as grooms?"

"Facing an Immortal King expert like your ancestor here, this brat still dares to be so arrogant. He definitely has something to rely on. We cannot act rashly right now. Wait until we are inside the Senluo Ghost Region. If we find out that this kid is just bluffing and is merely a brainless second-generation heir, then your ancestor will definitely torture him ruthlessly. Moreover, the Senluo Ghost Region is a forbidden land completely cut off from the outside world.

Even if this kid has some communication secret treasure on him, it will be completely useless. When the time comes, the forces behind him will not be able to trace it back to us."

Hearing Patriarch Huntian's words, the few of them couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Indeed, the older ginger is spicier. Even when killing someone, one must ensure no future troubles are left behind.

At this moment, Gu Qingfeng's dissatisfied voice came from the White Bone Blood Boat. "What are you all still standing there blankly for? Hurry up and come pull the carriage. Being able to pull the carriage for this Emperor will be enough for you to brag about for the rest of your lives."

Their faces darkened. They exchanged a few glances, and finally, under the coercion of Patriarch Huntian, the Beast-clothed Man had no choice but to suppress a belly full of anger and go pull the carriage.

It was also fortunate that the vicinity of the Senluo Ghost Region was a forbidden zone for the living, with no one around to see. Otherwise, these few people would definitely not be able to put aside their pride to do this.

With a Quasi-Immortal King pulling the carriage, the speed of the White Bone Blood Boat was naturally incredibly fast.

It didn't take long for the group to arrive at the entrance of the Senluo Ghost Region.

This place was completely empty, with only a continuously churning river of laws, and the sky was densely covered with black lightning.

"Fellow Daoist, we have arrived at the Senluo Ghost Region," Patriarch Huntian shouted towards the inside of the White Bone Blood Boat.

"Mm, go in."

Patriarch Huntian's eyebrows twitched, a ruthless look flashing past his eyes. He then fiercely yanked off the necklace made of nine skulls hanging around his neck and threw it viciously into the air.

A pale, ghostly light surged greatly. Above the raging waves of the river of laws, a bone bridge made of piled skulls instantly appeared, leading straight into the depths.

After doing all this, the group stepped onto the bone bridge without any hesitation.

During this time, Patriarch Huntian also gave the others a meaningful glance, telling them to keep a close eye on the White Bone Blood Boat to prevent Gu Qingfeng from escaping.

As the group continued to move forward, a ghostly and eerie mist began to appear on the bridge. Everything around them became very surreal, as if somewhat distorted.

The sun had completely disappeared into the mist, leaving the surroundings in pitch darkness.

Within the churning mist, it seemed as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at them.

However, Patriarch Huntian and the others did not panic at all. They seemed quite familiar with this scene, clearly indicating that this was not their first time visiting the Senluo Ghost Region.

And indeed, it was so. To others, the Senluo Ghost Region was a terrifying forbidden zone for the living, but for these few evil cultivators, this place was a treasure land. Whether for cultivation or for gathering refining materials and resources, it was an excellent location.

Of course, this did not mean that they could run amok in the Senluo Ghost Region. It only meant that they could better adapt to the environment here. Not only could their own combat power be enhanced by a few points, but they could also reap many benefits.

But the prerequisite for all this was that they could not encounter powerful ghost gods, nor could they go into the depths of the Senluo Ghost Region, otherwise, it would undoubtedly mean certain death.

While the group was walking, suddenly!

Roar!

A terrifying dragon's roar exploded from the depths of the mist.

Abruptly, from within the constantly surging mist, a fierce creature suddenly dashed out. It was actually a massive dragon corpse!

This dragon had obviously been dead for an unknown amount of time. Its entire body was entwined with death aura, without a trace of vitality. Its pair of dragon eyes were completely empty, starkly presenting two massive hollow sockets. Its body was covered in rotting flesh, with eerie white bones exposed in many places, making its appearance extremely horrifying.

As if attracted by the aura of the living on them, this dragon corpse roared and charged towards the White Bone Blood Boat.

Seeing this, Patriarch Huntian and the others were not alarmed but rather delighted.

Although this dragon corpse looked intimidating, its overall strength was not very high, roughly equivalent only to the early stage of the Quasi-Immortal King realm. Furthermore, because it lacked sentience, its attacks were completely disorganized, to the point that any early-stage Quasi-Immortal King expert could easily dispose of it with just a bit of effort.

The moment Patriarch Huntian and the others saw the dragon corpse, a plan simultaneously rose in their minds.

They would use the dragon corpse to test Gu Qingfeng's true capabilities.
